Lightweight Porcelain Stoneware by Engineered CeO2 Addition
(Wiley, 2010)
The use of porcelain stoneware in innovative applications such as the covering of internal walls or the manufacturing of ventilated facades may be limited by its relatively high density. In this paper, we discuss the ...
Determination of Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Sulfur in Geological Materials Using Elemental Analysers
(Wiley, 2012)
This article describes a series of methods developed for the determination of total carbon (CTotal), organic carbon (Corg), hydrogen, nitrogen and sulfur. The following elemental analysers were used: LECO model RC-412 for ...
Effect of quartz particle size on the mechanical behaviour of porcelain tile subjected to different cooling rates
(Elsevier, 2009-04)
Porcelain tile is a high-performance ceramic tile, in which quartz is a major compositional component. After the firing cycle, macroscopic residual stresses develop in the product as a result of rapid cooling. Further, ...
Development of a yellow ceramic pigment based on silver nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2012)
In this study a yellow pigment was obtained for third-fire ceramic decorations, based on silver nanoparticles synthesised by the method of chemical reduction in aqueous phase, using silver nitrate and polyvinylpyrrolidone ...
Synthesis and processing of nanocrystalline tungsten carbide: Towards cemented carbides with optimal mechanical properties
(Elsevier, 2011-01)
Nanocrystalline tungsten carbide has been obtained by reduction/carburization at low temperature from precursors obtained by freeze-drying of aqueous solutions. Nanocrystalline WC powders with a adequate content of carbon ...
Relationship between certain ceramic roofing tile characteristics and biodeterioration
(Elsevier, 2011)
This paper examines the relationship of certain red ceramic roofing tile properties to roofing tile biodeterioration. The following properties were studied: apparent porosity, roughness, and the presence or absence of two ...
Evaluation of the Dustiness of Different Kaolin Samples
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
Several samples of kaolin with different mean particle size were prepared and tested using the continuous drop method, one of the reference test methods according to standard EN 15051:2006 “Workplace atmospheres – Measurement ...
